Part of Cedar Creek Drive will be one lane until November

ASHEBORO — A culvert replacement project will alter the flow of traffic on Cedar Creek Drive in Asheboro starting Monday, April 17.

Although work is scheduled for the daytime on weekdays, the revised traffic pattern will reduce the two-lane road to one lane for about 500 feet for the duration of the project.

When vehicles approach the work site from either direction, they need to stop at a stop sign and check to see if a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction before continuing. Advanced warning signs and changeable message boards will be in place to alert drivers to the long-term pattern.

The $1.4 million project is scheduled to be completed by November.

State officials urge drivers to slow down as they approach the stop signs and go through the work zone.
